Debt Collector

review 1: The second installment to the Debt Collector serial did not disappoint. In fact, I keep wondering why this hasn't been picked up by a traditional publisher and made into an Omnibus. The writing is stellar. The world building pretty fantastic and believable at the same time. The PREMISE of the debt collectors is awesome!!! I cannot get over the idea of a group of people collecting life debts from the dying and giving the leftovers to the people with life potential. The three star rating comes from: at this point in the serial I want a little more explanation about how someone's potential is decided, and by whom. There isn't a lot of explanation on who Lerium works for and I think a bit more information on that would help solidify my belief in Lerium's fear of his counselor ... morein this piece.I really enjoy the dark, seedy world where sex workers are a common thing. I also, really love the broody protagonist Lerium is. I like that he isn't the hero's hero, but rather the guy who does the bad thing (collecting life credits) to survive but he doesn't allow that to taint his own character.
review 2: Rating: 4 out of 5.In a world where the debts collected are life forces, debt collectors are seen as Grim Reapers. Pariahs of the society unless someone has need of one.Lirium is a debt collector with a secret. After having done a mercy hit in the last episode, wherein debt collectors dig in to their own life forces to give to others, he is starting to spiral downwards. The concept behind this novel is refreshingly different. I also thought the protagonist's character had developed well since the last episode. I also like where the plot is going with the next episode.All in all, a short and sweet episode.ARC Courtesy of NetGalley and All Night Reads less
